The Torch is set to be third indoor football team to play in Raleigh, after the Carolina Cobras of the Arena Football League (2000–2002) and the Raleigh Rebels of the Atlantic (later American) Indoor Football League (2005–2006). A team called the Carolina Bombers were set to begin play as a member of the Ultimate Indoor Football League for 2012, but folded before ever playing a single game.
